 As will be seen by Jhs 'e.ter Of Mr. Harwood, published in the EPirArH this moraine, the Democr;s is aHaply a liar, That is a,l tae nan. we can ana for such an allusion to the conduc. rl the EP.- rApH. We can ,2l this sucking stc. ths, the EpiraPH is never afraid 10 ex press honest s:ntimen:5 o0 any qrcsaon with which it deals, Their d.iyel in refer, ence to the covert supper, wc gave Mir. Harwood is sublims coming as it does from a sheet TNich's 'sNli out ,ts party in the late campaign bag and baggage. The EPrTArH had the courage then, aud it has it now, to speak out its honest sentiments upon all public questions. We sup ported large portion of the Democratic ticket at the las. election, because we would nos be dictated to by Clar; Churchill or the gang of ga,oots who controlled the Republican party Of this county. If there is one thing in ths uni verse which we admire it is a sy-ophaDt --one who is good Mir. God and one who is good Mr. Devil 10 a!l with whom they come in contact, for instance the Demo- crat. It smiles and smirss over a jew men in Tombstone who are well known nonopolists, and on it's other side goes into spasms overthe "poor working man." It is the coming "Mesiah" of the "poor down-trodden workingmcn.' We gave the governing power of that sheet credit for at least common sense, but in their futile attempt to spread themselves over the whole field of "usefuIness" they cut a sorry figure. The virtuous "cuss' who edits that sheet says the EriTAPH seeing its mistake "crawhshed. That is rich We said at the onset that the organiza- ton known as the Knights of Labor was a fraud of the first water. We repeat the assertion. ls this crawhshiug? We have opposed every ranhpg revolutionary scheme which has been raised in thls city, and we will continue Jp do i,, and we have nothing to take back or reuact, We are satisfied that every intelligent man in this Union knows that the Knights ef Labor is a movement to 1ioat into public oihce a lot of ranting anu loud-mouthed loafers. The great intelH- gent laboring classes of ,hc United States do not affiliate with th" orgaUiza- ton of Martin Irons. Far from It, There are upwards of seven milton toiing, honest farmers--men. vho by their h0n- est labor, contribute largely ,o the sue cess and maintenance of OUT government This grand army of intelligent laborars do not find 1t essential 10 join the set of demagogues headed by Martin Irons. There are beside this army CT iaboylng men some one million two huadfcj thousand men located in the larger clues Of the UuJon, about ony-a"N of which are ward politicians ana strikers, men who never cid one hard days work in their lives. Tn; I5 the class which largely compose the Knights of Labor ot the Union. We work hard for cur liy. ing, and have, as q natusa, consequence, sympathy tUr lhe men who worI; with their hands, bat the bjalherskitcs who rush to the lead of all such movements are only worthy of contempt We are on the side of law and justice, If a labor ing man can maintain h.5 position ,u the great battle c. life. where the httest SUI vive, he is worthy ol .he ealing which Le follows. We ma,a,ain that q nan who labors for hIs Livelihood nas the same rights as other h.en-no more, DO less. He is entitled to all that he can ob.ain in the honest pursuit of his labors, and we are confident that when he IS parmlt- ted 10 have his say that is all he dusiyc,. It IS such ".aoorios" fellows ay >le Democrat scrbOlsr that iomcn,s and creates false ideas and impressions ia the minds of the men who loil for the support of their little ones.
